And although holding the opposing view on snow days, Ms Katona agreed, admitting that as a country "we do massively panic" - joking about the chaos which ensued at airports around the UK earlier this week.

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway questioned the former Atomic Kitten singer further, mentioning how she's clearly in a position to enjoy a snow day whilst many other parents do not have that luxury.

The 38-year-old, who had two children with Dancing on Ice and former Westlife star Brian McFadden, replied: "I get that.

"I've had to take my youngest with me to work and I'm lucky enough that I'm able to do that so I completely understand.

"Childcare is very difficult especially when you're working 9 to 5."

The reality TV star then jokingly advised parents to do what she does and "ring social services."

In all seriousness though, Ms Katona commented "I am very lucky that I don't have to do a 9 to 5 job, so I embrace a snow day."

And while "snow days" may be a nuisance in terms of childcare, the topic soon turned to parental rights at work, with 51-year-old Ms Garraway asking if employers should be more understanding.

Ms Davies said: "To be honest my employer is understanding and at a real push I probably could work from home."

She added that the issue was more about special treatment, noting that if nurses took the day off "the NHS would shut down."
